Following the Lord is not running around looking for the next "revival"

You should be having your own revival with the Lord in your personal life based on the leading of the Holy Spirit Who leads you in to all God's Word which is Truth.
So... The four fingers are back pointing to ourselves... In which self examination is indeed important... But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.- 1 Corinthians 11. I will wish the Catholic church well, though, during this time.

Yeah, I disagree with the Catholics on many things but see no reason to kick them while they are down.

Your description focuses heavily on outward humility, good intentions, and concern for the poor, but none of that changes the core issue: teaching a false gospel. According to Scripture, a person can appear gentle, humble, and sincere, yet still be deceived and lead others into error. Second Corinthians 11:14–15 warns us that “even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.” God does not judge by outward appearance, He judges by truth. A man may choose a humble name, avoid luxury, and speak kindly, but if he leads people to trust in man-made traditions, sacraments, or saints instead of the finished work of Christ, then he is not pointing people to the true gospel.

Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21). And what is the will of the Father? That we believe in the One He has sent (John 6:29), and that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, not through any religious system, priesthood, or ritual (Ephesians 2:8–9). Any spiritual leader who teaches otherwise is leading people down a path that looks religious but ends in destruction (Matthew 7:13–15).

As for the so-called prophecy of Malachy, whether or not it was written by him or falsely attributed, it has no authority. God’s Word is the only reliable source of prophecy and truth. We are not called to chase mysterious timelines or speculate about dates. Jesus said plainly in Matthew 24:36, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” The return of Christ will happen in God’s perfect timing, and no list of popes or extra-biblical prophecies can change that.

A man may appear to be spiritual and even call for prayer, but if he denies the truth of God’s Word by promoting teachings not found in Scripture, then he is not a true man of God.
Being kind and charitable does not make someone right with God, only faith in the true gospel of Jesus Christ does.
Amen. I don't think God is fooled or the least bit impressed by token, virtue-signalling gestures that are done to be seen by men, in any case. And if that prophecy has Peter the apostle as the first Pope, that would be enough by itself to make it a false prophecy, to my mind. Catholicism and its papacy is not of God, period, end of story, because the spirit that rules that institution is not the Spirit of God. They are leading millions astray.

Unfortunately I can't wish the Catholic Church well at this or any time. Because of knowing it is built on lies and a completely false foundation and is leading millions of souls to perdition.

It would be nice to know where he is moving next! And as far as the Catholic church... I wish them well and hope they find a good Pope. Even though I have no interest in following the guy.
Who calles Pope Francis, The Peoples Pope ?

Why do They call him the Peoples Pope ? It was The MSM who made that line up in fact !

I thought that the Pope was to be only "Gods Pope" in fact ! Not of us, for we are not the Wellspring !
Clearly only Satanist would make such a claim in fact ! and anyone who swallows such is a total fool !

The Pope should be pointing out Christ Jesus first and formost all the time ! if he was to represent Christ Jesus ! Not of the world.

The Pope should not be friends to this world in fact ! but to Preach Christ Jesus first and foremost !

Being friends to Religions is not the way in fact !

Serving Christ Jesus is the only way regarding as to the Kingdom of God ! As once one does just that very issue, then what was imposible, then starts becoming possible. for it's with God !

Pope Francis was a friend to this world in fact and that's why the MSM love the fool. because they are fools ! fools of this world that is full of decetpions and delusions !

Did Pope Francis bring People to Christ Jesus ? Hell No ! He claimed that Islam is the same gods as his gods !
Never trust a Jesuit ever for they are a Curse that's in bed with Freemasons, it's a Worldly Order ! They are in bed with Islam and the Talmud Jews. for They are Carnal and Pope Francis was a typical Carnal Religious clown as they come !

Not to mention even Atheist liked Pope Francis ?

I thought when he picked the Name Francis, that was good thing, but he was nothing regarding of Saint Francis at all, the Name was just used as a Cloak !

And it is in my hopes that the Catholic Church picks a good Cardinal for Pope.
I do too. But....between the bible talking about "End Times" and the way of the world these days, I'm kind of like, "Ehhhhh"!

Threads like this remind me of WHY we NEED Christ to COME BAAAAAACK!

It wasn't until the 1960s that the catholics started calling themselves "Christians"
Prior to that they claimed they were not Christians but catholics and were quite adamant about it.

Do your homework, sweetheart.
Is it OK to claim to be Christian while doing things and teaching things God's Word forbids?
Probably not. But then again, Catholics aren't the ONLY Christians who 'got it wrong'
Just curious where this ends because there are other forums that have been taken over by people who reject God's Word being new agers and even satanists who claim they are "Christians" as they teach doctrine that is not taught in God's Word and all the actual Christians had to leave.

I hope that isn't happening to this forum, and there's a couple of staff members here that stand for what God's Word teaches that would need to be purged too as they tell others who claim to be Christians they are wrong although they do so politely.

I guess if one is polite it's OK then?
Do you really...REALLY believe that YOU know ALL of the truth?

Christ tells us not to judge for a reason. Recall when that woman was brought to Christ for committing adultery. Christ didn't condemn her even though adultery was to be punishable by stoning.

Maybe Christ has the 'low-down' on what's what MORE than WE do....

So if other churches teach false doctrine you believe the Lord still accepts them as they reject what He says in His Word?

Back in the day when I went to Pentecostal Holiness churches they taught God's Word and warned people who did not teach God's Word

Did you ask your pastor if it's OK to pray to mary and ask him to show you in the Bible where Jesus and the Apostles taught believers to pray to mary?
OHhhhhhh, knock it off. Catholics don't 'pray to' Mary. Serioiusly, dude. Get off the anti-Catholic sites and look this stuff up on your own. Sheesh..

And just WHERE did the KJB get ITS sources from?
William Tyndale bible in 1525 and Matthews bible in 1537, which begat the 1560 Geneva Bible. Then using the Textus receptus of manuscripts under the authority of King James, 52 scholars translated again using the Septuagint and the existing manuscripts and the Tyndale and Geneva bibles. Then the KJB was made in 1611. Revised 3 times and the last version is 1769. It hasn't changed since.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the bible was in full force and effect since WELL BEFORE 1525.

Try again.

Are you talking about the discontinued and corrupt Latin vulgates? Or the German Luther bible? what are you talking about. None of them lasted 400 years.
And yet....you talk about 'The Bible' as if it's ALWAYS been "The Bible" since it was first put together as a BOOK.

Like I said, try again..

Answer back with a good answer. I said the KJB has been around unchanged the longest. Not to argue with you like you seem to want to.

Let's look at the Vatican's history.

Burning Bibles so no one could read them and setting those who tried on fire.

Carving images of anything in heaven or on earth and bowing down to them like God never thundered against idolatry.

Elevating Mary and the angels above the very Christ who died for them.

Building monstrous cathedrals that look like the Fallen Angels' twisted playgrounds.

Commanding celibacy from nuns and priests when God said it is not good for man to be alone — not out of holiness, but as a form of control, a slow-burning torment that can fester into secret sin.

Forbidding marriage to priests while Paul called that a doctrine of demons, and Christ never once demanded celibacy to serve Him.

Praying to saints and the dead like it’s a séance instead of salvation.

Chanting memorized prayers while Jesus condemned vain repetitions from pagan mouths.

Parading bones and relics in golden boxes like trophies, when God forbade touching the dead and called it unclean.

Murdering reformers, torching entire families for translating the Word — and when that wasn’t enough, exhuming the bones of long-dead reformers like John Wycliffe just to set them on fire. That’s not just persecution. That’s demonic vengeance.

Still speaking the Word of God in Latin — even today — like it’s a spell for the initiated, when He commanded it be spoken plainly so every soul could understand.

Hiding Enoch, silencing Revelation, and canonizing what serves their empire.

Telling their followers they can’t even pray to God directly, when Christ tore the veil and said “Come boldly to the throne of grace.”

Forcing people to confess to a man in a robe, while ignoring the blood that bought them access to the Father Himself.

Telling souls they’re too dirty to speak to God, while the Bible says He’s near to the brokenhearted.

Hoisting up gold-plated idols while Christ preached to the poor barefoot.

Fencing the cup of communion like Christ ever withheld His blood from sinners.

Demanding indulgences to “buy” time out of a hell Christ already conquered.

Using incense and ceremony to bury the Spirit under layers of ritual.

Swearing obedience to a Pope or priest and calling him “Father” like Christ didn’t explicitly say: Call no man on earth your father — for you have one Father in heaven. And no, He wasn’t talking about your biological dad. He was rebuking man-made spiritual hierarchies.

Mocking the crucified Lamb by crowning themselves kings over His Church.

Turning grace into a transaction and salvation into a bribe.

Wearing ashes and robes in public to appear righteous — the exact hypocrisy Christ warned against.

Claiming to forgive sins when only the Son of Man has been given authority to do so.

Silencing the laity, exalting the hierarchy, and calling it the body of Christ.

Turning the bride of Christ into a harlot draped in scarlet and gold.

And you think these people are Christians?

It’s not the Church of Christ — it’s the global church of Satan, wearing His name like a stolen cloak.
Built on blood, gold, lies, manipulation, and fear.
They burned the Word, then replaced it with ritual.
They buried the cross beneath robes and relics.
They turned worship into performance, confession into a prison, and truth into a weapon.

And as you’ve seen above — if God says NOT to do it, they do it anyway. Boldly. Repeatedly. Religiously. 24/7/365 and for millennia.
Not as followers of Christ, but as covert worshippers of Samyaza and Azazel
twisting holiness into spectacle, and rebellion into sacred tradition.

They fear the Book of Enoch because it names the Watchers — the very ones they secretly revere.
They fear the Spirit because it exposes their powerless pomp.
They fetishize suffering, but only for others — they themselves feast.
They crown a mere man as “infallible” while the world burns under his silence — wrapped in robes of gold and a mitre shaped like the open mouth of Dagon, the Watcher-god of the deep.

This is not the bride of Christ.
This is Babylon the Great.
Drunk on the blood of the saints.
And her judgment is coming.
Because the real Church doesn’t need a cathedral — it needs a Cross.
And the real Christ doesn’t sit on a throne of gold, He reigns from a hill called Golgotha.
And when He returns, every collar, crown, and cassock drenched in pride will fall like dust.

Because this time He’s not coming as a lamb — He’s coming with a sword,
to tear down every false altar and judge those who wore His name while serving another master.

Do you ever wonder why this has occurred .
The RCC knew in order to rule over all denominations
she was gonna have to word play .
They been greasing up the protestant realm and the false religoins too .
THEY ARE MERGING and will merge ALL .
SO many bought into this . The way to do this was
to break down walls , AKA remove core doctrines , make doctrine seem not important
but rather use a wordly version of love and focus on that .
And it has worked on many my friend .
Someone has been at work and has not been sleeping , has been roaming and decieving
and knows how to allure the peoples right into a lie .
The motto of today is , Lets not strive over doctrines , lets just lovey do and be one .
And yet if anyone would have bothered to examine this love
they had seen it was OF THE WORLD , not of GOD . It denies and it removes HIS TRUTH .
cause doctrines divide it says . And now look not only do they no longer correct serious deadly doctrines
Sins , now even unbeleif is being overlooked as all religoins are merging as one .
UNDER what they all believe IS LOVE , is loving , and is of GOD . ONLY IT AINT NONE OF THE SAID My friend .
ITS of the dark one who has prepared and is preparing the decieved to be as one people
one mind and one heart UNDER IT and its beast and the kingdom of said beast .
People perish from , lack of knowledge . THEY lied to us for a long time my friend . THIS was
the ecumincial movement to simply merge all denominatoins and false religoins
RIGHT UNDER the HARLOT . they called it HEALING THE WOUND .
rather odd huh . HEALING the WOUND of divisions . Whose deadly wound was healed .
Something is and has went dead wrong and many now are being influenced
right into the lie by means of what they all beleive is loving , kind , caring , good , Love and of GOD .
ONLY ITS A LIE and its father IS not GOD , but HE who desired to be as GOD .

There we have it, the idea that all religious thought leads to salvation.

That's the coming one world religion right there.

All one has to do is what they did when the roman empire supposedly made Christianity their state religion which resulted in all the pagan religions having to claim they were "Christians" in order to get along with the roman government.

One can believe and do whatever they want as long as they claim to be "Christian"
Bingo my friend . spot on right .
The plan was to unite all peoples , religoins , tribes and nations .
But how does one unite those with differing beleifs .
You break them down from within . By not focusing on the doctrine but on a love that all can agree upon .
Breaking down walls , building bridges
KEY concepts they made sound good and yet all the while that was exactly what they were doing
REMOVING doctrine ,
because you cannot unite the religoins BY THEIR DOCTRINES , cause they are CONTRARY
you have to break them down from within
FIND what they all have in common and focus on that . ITS A FALSE wordly love .
Even all false religoins believe in doing good works and feeding the poor .
ITS WHAT they focused on and all the while they kept removing more and more doctrines .
NOW even UNBELIEF is being overlooked .
THEY ARE MAKING and have made A WORLD STATE religoin
ONLY most cannot see it for what it is , cause all they hear is GOD IS LOVE , ITS LOVE , ITS GOD .
While its true GOD is LOVE , had anyone bothered to examine ALL things they were claiming as love and as loving
THEY would have seen IT WAS CONTRARY TO GOD . PROBLEM IS most dont learn the scrips
And if they do ITS through lost men who are also at work WITH THIS SAME AGENDA . People have no idea
what has occurred and is occuring . ALL they hear is love love love by these men , by these leaders
AND yet have no idea THIS love they preach IS NOT COMING OF GOD . ITS BEEN removing HIS DOCTRINES
in order to MERGE THEM ALL as ONE under what all will beleive IS GOD and is HIS LOVE
WHEN IN TRUTH its an agenda which satan has used to greedy deceptive men
IN ORDER to build HIS OWN empire and merge the peoples of all tribes
to EVENTUALLY COME AGAINST the sheep . Total rebellion is being taught and allowed to be taught . and many seem to love it .
